Building things that work exactly how a significant portion of potential users expect them to work is the goal of user testing. | |

| Jul 12, 2011 at 18:56 | comment | added | Dave Nelson | I don't think that "gathering opinions or perceptions" is user testing, it is user interviewing. User testing is more along the lines of giving the user a task and observing how successful they are at completing that task. I ask them to think out loud so that I can have an idea of what they are thinking and where they are going, but I ignore any comments that are opinions, comments, or suggestions. | |
